Seems abit expensive

Ive had my Bently with home made jets now for about 6 months and it needs replacing...

I can replace it for about £3 all in so that will be £6 for a year........Not everyones taste but it does me

Marcus... 

I like the Bentleys as well Marcus and they are the only other brush I use. However I do prefer the new brush as it does clean the glass more easily than the Bentley, given the choice I always reach for the pole with the new brush on.

Well I will have 2 of them, so I hope their good!!! No Im sure theyll be great! I think £30 is a fair price for something so important. And as Alex said, it cost him more to buy/manufacture them than Vikans, Luke

Jesus Christ, you set of tight wads, it's gonna be 40 quid or near enough. give the man a break. You get what you pay for & this man has put endless hours of REAL R&D into this project. Sure it's gonna be good, will it suit everybody? who knows, 40 quid is nothing if it does the job easier/better & if not it's still worth 40 quid to find out! ::)

£40 for a brush surely isn't much if you already spent £300 on a pole.

It is a bit on the expensive side, but let's face it, designing a new brush and the hole stuff around it is expensive. It's nowhere near as expensive as a Tucker though!

Alex,

When is the new brush available? I'm very interested in one :)

Thanks

Chris

Should be available for sending out by the end of this coming week - at last!
So are you taking orders from Monday Alex? Any news on the other project?

We're not taking pre-orders for the brush.  When they are on the website, they'll be available to buy.  The new pole will be coming in this week as well, so by this Friday or next Monday we will be ringing/emailing all those that have pre-ordered them.

It`s not just another 30ft pole,compared to the pole you`ve got all they have in common is length.

Morning Glyn

If we just sold my personal preference on all the WFP equipment I work with, I don't think Kirsty (the boss) would bother running Gardiner Pole Systems as it's been set up for all window cleaners, not just me  ;D.  Anyway, thanks for the link!

Alex - sorry but do you know what the final weight of the brush will be?

we use salmon brushes (11" and 15") and while they are light, if we can get our mitts on anything lighter we'd certainly have a look at changing over.

thanks
